Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a two-digit track branching device in a magnetic levitation traveling system.

As is known, for a magnetically levitated non-bush running system, it is not possible to directly apply a so-called railway branching device to the track branching device, and for this reason, various types of branching devices have been conventionally provided. ing.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a branching table 4 having mobility in the substantially lateral direction of the track is arranged between one track 1 and two branched tracks R and M, and this branch On the platform 4, there is a pair of saddle pole rails 1 and 2 on both sides of the tracks 1 and 2 (hereinafter referred to as left and right) that form a straight track, and a pair of saddle pole rails 5 on the left and right that are continuous and correspond to each other, and a curved track. A pair of left and right blind pole rails, 3 of the tracks 1, m to be formed and a corresponding pair of continuous left and right twill pole rails 6 are respectively fixed in parallel, and the branching is performed by a conventional drive mechanism (not shown). stand 4
There is a known device in which the device is moved between the position shown in FIG. 1 and the position shown in FIG.

However, in a branching device having such a configuration, the device becomes large-sized and there are also problems in terms of rapid branching switching operations. That is, in this case, as shown in Fig. 1, the movement range of the branch table 4 in the lateral direction of the track is a at one end and b at the other end, and depending on the lateral and medium length of the track, the movement range of the branch table 4 is This is because the volume required to be secured is large in consideration of the above factors, and as the size and weight increase, it becomes difficult to shorten the switching time. The present invention was made in order to solve such problems, and a total of 4 train tracks are fused and arranged in parallel in the transverse direction of the track on the branch platform.
Taking into account the amount of movement required for each saddle pole rail, we divided them into two pairs, an outer pair and an inner pair, to prevent the two sets of saddle pole rails from overhanging in the lateral direction of the track due to excessive movement. In addition, such branch movable parts are divided into two in the orbit direction to further improve efficiency.

The present invention will be described in detail below based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

Embodiment 1 In this example shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the branching device for switching the continuous state between the track 1 and 0, m is installed on the outer two pole rails 15, 15, 16. and two inside 15
2, 162, and each set of bush pole rails is layered and fixed on the individual branching tables 14, 142, and one inner branching table 142 is used to straighten the tracks 1, 0 shown in FIG. It is provided so that it can be moved largely between the left and right limit positions of the state in which the tracks 1 and m are continuous in a curved manner as shown in FIG. It is provided so that it can be moved by a small amount between the left and right limit positions, from a state in which the trajectories 1 and 0 shown in FIG.

Such a configuration may be used for straight or curved trajectories 1, 2 or 1.
, m are continuous, a pair of left and right armature rails 16, 152 or 16, . 162, it is necessary to maintain a predetermined left and right spacing in correspondence with the floating guide device of the traveling body, but on the other hand, on the other track side which is in a discontinuous state, a predetermined distance between the pair of left and right armature rails is required. This is done in view of the fact that there is no need to maintain the left and right spacing, and for this reason, the pair of left and right armature rails 15, 152 or 16, 162 on the side that becomes discontinuous due to the movement of the inner branching table 142. approaches, and the outer branch 14 is moved by a certain amount in order to prevent movement of the inner branch 142. With this configuration, the outer branch 14 is moved in the transverse direction of the track of the branch 142. The amount of movement of the overhang is a′<a, b′ compared to the conventional example.
<b, so it is sufficiently small, and the required volume, size, and weight can be reduced.

FIG. 5 shows the specific configuration of the branching device to which this example is applied, in which three guide rails for guiding the movement of the branching tables 14, 142 are mounted on a track 25 fixed on the legs 24 on the ground. 2
3 is laid in the horizontal direction of the track, and driven by the drive motor 22, rotating wheels 17, 172, rotating belt 18, small arm 13,
, the large arm 192, the branching tables 14, 142, and the branching tables 14, 14 through a driving mechanism shown in principle in FIG.
The device is configured to automatically perform two predetermined movements. That is, by the operation of the drive motor 22, the rotating wheels 17,...
When 172 rotates, the large and small arms 1
92, 19, swing, and the swinging tips thereof engage the elongated hole 2.
0, 202 will be moved in the vertical direction in FIG. 6 accordingly. Each branch stand 14, 142 at this time
The amount of movement is determined by the amount of swing of the arms 19, 192 and their lengths. Therefore, the amount of movement between the left and right limit positions shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is determined by the length of the arms 19, 192. It can be determined by setting etc. as appropriate. Example
2 The present embodiment shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 is an improvement over the first embodiment, and further miniaturization of the branching device is realized.

That is, in this example, branching equipment is installed in the front and rear stages N in the orbit direction.
, and V portions, and the W portion is provided with a branching mechanism having the same configuration as the previous embodiment, while the V portion is provided with a simpler branching mechanism.

Therefore, in the explanation of this example, except for the V portion, Example 1 will be described.
100 is added to the reference numerals for common parts, and their explanations are omitted. The configuration of the V section is such that in combination with the N section, there is no need to slightly move the outer pole rail, so it is extended from the track 0, m, and the other side is extended from the inside for branch switching. Japanese pole rail 118,
Only the branching table 117 to which 119 is fixed is configured to be movable in the transverse direction of the track. According to such a configuration,
Since the portion that protrudes in the transverse direction of the track is localized to a portion thereof in the track direction, it is extremely effective in reducing the size and weight of the entire branching device. As described above, the double-digit track branching device in the magnetic levitation traveling system according to the present invention realizes miniaturization and weight reduction of the device, and
In addition, it also enables quick operation when switching between branches, making it suitable for situations where a large number of moving objects are traveling in a short period of time, which is an extremely excellent effect. be.
